Really do need some help in fixing this problem since installing sp2.
I'm still using office 2000. XP pro copyright claims to be 2000.
At first it was just when attempting to export some info from access to a plain
vanilla text file. It wanted to find something related to dao in some
nonexistent temp directory. after about 3 or 4 cancels where it asked to
install it [dao] it went ahead and did exactly what I wanted it to do [export
the data to a text file].
The other day I attempted to open a DOC file with WORD. word also wanted to
access dao and it also went thru the same time consuming requests for me to
point it to dao. After telling it to cancel several times it went and did
exactly fine with opening the doc file.
I've searched the web, and M$ for something about DAO, and pretty much just run
up against others with this same problem searching for DAO help and finding
nothing on how to fix the problem.
Some background; what I did find about DAO isn't very encouraging. It doesn't
exist in any CAB file, it also doesn't exist on the XP install disk, SP2
install disk, office2k install disk, or the ATI install disk.
I did find DAO.DLL, but that's not what o2k wants. it wants DAO.MSI.
It attempts to configure DAO then asks for the MSI that doesn't exist.
I can only assume it has something to do with SP2. As this problem and several
others didn't exist until I installed SP2.
